[0002] With the rapid development of the manufacturing and logistics industries and the popularization of automation and information technology, traditional warehouses are gradually upgrading to modernization, automation, and intelligence. Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS), also known as high-bay warehouses, are warehouses that utilize multi-layer high-bay racks to store unit goods and use corresponding material handling equipment for inbound and outbound operations. These warehouses can make full use of space to store goods. However, existing AS / RS conveyor lines often experience deviations due to material box vibrations and installation errors. Therefore, it is necessary to use AS / RS conveyor line material box positioning devices to position the material boxes and prevent the risk of them becoming unidentifiable or falling after deviation.

[0003] A common type of Automated Warehouse conveyor box positioning device still has some problems. For example, when using the positioning device, it is necessary to limit the position of the box. However, the boxes are of different sizes, making it inconvenient to adjust the distance between the positioning plates. This results in poor flexibility and significant limitations.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a material box positioning device for an automated warehouse conveyor line to improve upon the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material box positioning device for a three-dimensional warehouse conveyor line, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as inconvenience in adjusting the distance between positioning plates and poor flexibility.

[0007] The adjustment structure includes a bidirectional threaded rod, a positioning plate, and a threaded sleeve. A servo motor is installed on the right side of the housing. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod. Threaded sleeves are provided on both sides of the outside of the bidirectional threaded rod. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded sleeve. A positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block. A limit groove is opened at the top of the inner sidewall of the housing. A protective pad is provided on the inner sidewall of the positioning plate.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the threads on the two sides of the bidirectional threaded rod are opposite, the bidirectional threaded rod and the threaded sleeve cooperate with each other, and the connecting block slides inside the limiting groove.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, support rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the housing, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the support rods. Mounting grooves are opened on both sides of the top end inside the connecting plate. Pull plates are provided on the left and right sides of the front and rear ends of the connecting plate. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate near the middle. A spring is fixedly connected between the pull plate and the connecting plate. Limiting slots are opened on the left and right sides of the front and rear ends inside the connecting plate and the front and rear ends inside the mounting blocks. Guide grooves are opened on both sides inside the connecting plate. A top block is provided inside the guide groove. A pull rod is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate near the outside.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the end of the fixing rod near the middle is embedded in the inside of the limiting slot, and the mounting block is fixed in the inside of the mounting slot by the fixing rod.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top block is disposed between the pull rods, and the spring is disposed outside the fixed rod.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, reserved holes are provided at the four corners inside the base, and mounting bolts are provided inside the reserved holes.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a limiting rod is fixedly connected at the middle position of the bottom end of the limiting groove, a limiting hole is opened at the middle position of the top end inside the frame, a limiting slider is fixedly connected at the middle position of the front and rear ends of the connecting plate, and a limiting groove is opened at the top of the front and rear ends of the frame.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the limiting hole slides up and down inside the limiting rod, and the limiting slider slides up and down inside the limiting groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the material box positioning device of the automated warehouse conveyor line not only realizes the adjustment of the distance between the positioning plates and facilitates the fixing and disassembly of the protective shell, but also improves the stability of lifting;

[0016] (1) By setting up a bidirectional threaded rod, positioning plate, limiting groove, connecting block, threaded sleeve and servo motor, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the positioning plates, the servo motor is started. The servo motor drives the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, so that the threaded sleeves on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod drive the positioning plate to move. Thus, the distance between the positioning plates can be adjusted according to the requirements, which makes it convenient for the positioning plate to position the material box of different sizes and prevents the material box from shifting during the conveying process and affecting the scanning. The limiting groove can facilitate the movement of the positioning plate and can limit the threaded sleeve to prevent the threaded sleeve from flipping outside the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0017] (2) By setting up an installation block, an installation groove, a top block, a pull rod, a pull plate, a spring and a fixing rod, the pull rod is pushed to both ends. The pull rod drives the fixing rod to disengage from the inside of the limiting groove through the pull plate. After the fixing rod disengages from the inside of the limiting groove, the top block is pushed upward so that the top block supports the pull rod between the pull rods and limits the pull rod. This makes the installation block unfixed. When the installation block is unfixed, the installation block can be taken out from the inside of the installation groove to disassemble the housing. Disassembling the housing not only makes it easier to reduce the space occupied by the device during transportation, but also makes it easier to inspect the components on the housing.

[0018] (3) The device is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder, a limiting hole, a limiting rod, a limiting slider and a limiting groove. It is installed at the bottom between the conveying rollers. When the material box needs to be positioned, the hydraulic cylinder is activated. The hydraulic cylinder drives the housing and positioning plate to rise through the connecting plate and the support rod, so that the positioning plate can be raised and lowered to the top between the conveying rollers to position the material box. When the connecting plate and the housing are raised and lowered, the limiting rod and the limiting slider slide up and down inside the limiting hole and the limiting groove respectively, which can improve the stability of the lifting.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a three-dimensional warehouse conveyor box positioning device, including a base 1, a frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a hydraulic cylinder 5 installed at the bottom inside the frame 2, a connecting plate 6 installed at the top of the hydraulic cylinder 5, a housing 12 provided at the top of the frame 2, and an adjustment structure for facilitating the positioning of different boxes provided inside and on the right side of the housing 12.

[0026] The adjustment structure includes a bidirectional threaded rod 10, a positioning plate 11, and a threaded sleeve 15. A servo motor 16 is installed on the right side of the housing 12. The output end of the servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 10. Threaded sleeves 15 are provided on both sides of the outside of the bidirectional threaded rod 10. A connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded sleeve 15. The positioning plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 14. A limit groove 13 is opened at the top of the inner side wall of the housing 12. A protective pad is provided on the inner side wall of the positioning plate 11.

[0027] The threads on the two sides of the double-threaded rod 10 are opposite, the double-threaded rod 10 and the threaded sleeve 15 cooperate with each other, and the connecting block 14 slides inside the limiting groove 13;

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the positioning plates 11, the servo motor 16 is started. The servo motor 16 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeves 15 on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to move the positioning plates 11. Thus, the distance between the positioning plates 11 can be adjusted according to the requirements, which facilitates the positioning plates 11 to position the material boxes of different sizes and prevents the material boxes from shifting during the conveying process and affecting the barcode scanning. The limiting groove 13 can facilitate the movement of the positioning plates 11 and can limit the threaded sleeves 15 to prevent the threaded sleeves 15 from flipping outside the bidirectional threaded rod 10.

[0029] Support rods 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the housing 12. Mounting blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support rods 9. Mounting grooves 8 are opened on both sides of the top end of the connecting plate 6. Pull plates 23 are provided on the left and right sides of the front and rear ends of the connecting plate 6. A fixing rod 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 23 near the middle. A spring 24 is fixedly connected between the pull plate 23 and the connecting plate 6. Limiting slots 26 are opened on the left and right sides of the front and rear ends of the connecting plate 6 and the front and rear ends of the mounting block 7. Guide grooves are opened on both sides of the connecting plate 6. A top block 21 is provided inside the guide groove. A pull rod 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 23 near the outside. The end of the fixing rod 25 near the middle is embedded in the limiting slot 26. The mounting block 7 is fixed inside the mounting groove 8 by the fixing rod 25. The top block 21 is located between the pull rods 22. The spring 24 is located outside the fixing rod 25.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the pull rod 22 is pushed to both ends, the pull rod 22 drives the fixing rod 25 to disengage from the inside of the limiting slot 26 through the pull plate 23. After the fixing rod 25 disengages from the inside of the limiting slot 26, the top block 21 is pushed upward so that the top block 21 supports the pull rod 22 between them and limits the pull rod 22. This allows the mounting block 7 to be unfixed. Once the mounting block 7 is unfixed, it can be removed from the inside of the mounting slot 8 to disassemble the housing 12. Disassembling the housing 12 not only makes it easier to reduce the space occupied by the device during transportation, but also makes it easier to inspect and repair the components on the housing 12.

[0031] Pre-drilled holes 3 are provided at the four corners inside the base 1. Mounting bolts 4 are installed inside the pre-drilled holes 3. A limiting rod 18 is fixedly connected at the middle position of the bottom end of the limiting groove 13. A limiting hole 17 is provided at the middle position of the top end inside the frame 2. A limiting slider 19 is fixedly connected at the middle position of the front and rear ends of the connecting plate 6. A limiting groove 20 is provided at the top of the front and rear ends of the frame 2. The limiting hole 17 slides up and down inside the limiting rod 18, and the limiting slider 19 slides up and down inside the limiting groove 20.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the device is installed at the bottom between the conveying rollers. When the material box needs to be positioned, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the housing 12 and the positioning plate 11 to rise through the connecting plate 6 and the support rod 9, so that the positioning plate 11 can be raised and lowered to the top between the conveying rollers to position the material box. When the connecting plate 6 and the housing 12 are raised and lowered, the limiting rod 18 and the limiting slider 19 slide up and down inside the limiting hole 17 and the limiting groove 20, respectively, which can improve the stability of the lifting.

[0033] Working Principle: In use, the base 1 is installed at the bottom between the conveyor rollers via the pre-drilled hole 3 and mounting bolts 4. When positioning the material box is required, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 5, through the connecting plate 6 and support rod 9, drives the housing 12 and positioning plate 11 to rise, thus facilitating the positioning plate 11 to the top between the conveyor rollers for positioning the material box. During the lifting of the connecting plate 6 and housing 12, the limiting rod 18 and limiting slider 19 slide up and down inside the limiting hole 17 and limiting groove 20 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the lifting. When adjusting the distance between the positioning plates 11, the servo motor 16 is activated. The servo motor 16 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeves 15 on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to move the positioning plate 11. This allows the distance between the positioning plates 11 to be adjusted as needed, facilitating the positioning of material boxes of different sizes and preventing material leakage. During transport, the box may shift, affecting barcode scanning. The limiting groove 13 facilitates the movement of the positioning plate 11 and limits the threaded sleeve 15 to prevent it from flipping outside the bidirectional threaded rod 10. After positioning, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated again. The hydraulic cylinder 5 lowers the housing 12 and the positioning plate 11 through the connecting plate 6 and the support rod 9, pushing the pull rod 22 to both ends. The pull rod 22 drives the fixing rod 25 to disengage from the limiting groove 26 through the pull plate 23. After the fixing rod 25 disengages from the limiting groove 26, it pushes the top block 21 upward, so that the top block 21 supports the pull rod 22 and limits the pull rod 22. This allows the mounting block 7 to lose its fixation. Once the mounting block 7 is unfixed, it can be removed from the mounting groove 8 to disassemble the housing 12. Disassembling the housing 12 not only reduces the space occupied by the device during transportation but also facilitates the maintenance of the components on the housing 12.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
